Characterization of inhibition of Mycobacterium avium replication in macrophages by normal human serum.

Characterization of inhibition of Mycobacterium avium replication in macrophages by normal human serum. G S Douvas , M H May , E Ross and A J Crowle Division of Immunology, Webb-Waring Lung Institute, Denver, Colorado. ABSTRACT Serum from some AIDS patients permits the rapid multiplication of Mycobacterium avium in cultured human macrophages. Serum from human immunodeficiency virus-negative individuals inhibits replication. The characteristics of the serum-induced inhibition were examined here. M. avium 7497 serovar 4 grew exponentially in macrophages when they were cultured in serumless medium. Growth was measured by determining the CFU after infected macrophages were lysed at 0 to 7 days after infection. Normal AB serum (5 to 10%) added to infected macrophages resulted in an initial 4-day lag of bacterial growth followed by rapid replication from 4 to 7 days. Serum also inhibited bacterial replication in medium without macrophages. This inhibition was not biphasic but was sustained over 7 days. Macrophage-associated M. avium became less responsive to serum inhibitor within 24 h after infection of macrophages. Within 2 days of culture, M. avium no longer responded to inhibitor. Replication of macrophage-derived M. avium (Vi) was in some instances serum inhibitable and at other times was enhanced by serum, when it was used to infect fresh macrophages. The Vi phenotype remained serum inhibitable without macrophages. Preinfection of macrophages with heat-killed M. avium did not alter serum-induced bacterial inhibition or escape from inhibition.

Normal AB serum (5 to 10%) added to infected macrophages resulted in an initial 4-day lag of bacterial growth followed by rapid replication from 4 to 7 days. Serum also inhibited bacterial replication in medium without macrophages. This inhibition was not biphasic but was sustained over 7 days. Macrophage-associated M. avium became less responsive to serum inhibitor within 24 h after infection of macrophages. Within 2 days of culture, M. avium no longer responded to inhibitor.
